Had productive days last week, 9/21, 9/22. Crabbed Thursday with very good results, a bushel and half catch. Had a Facebook contact about a hauling job. Originally booked for Friday 5pm. Kinda shitty time but wasn't going to refuse. I decided to jot crab on Friday since poor weather was forecast . So I messaged customer and got load time changed to Friday am. Perfect. The job took about 30 minutes to load and was a 10 minute drive to county landfill. BAM ! My 1st paying hauling job in years. Made me happy to be hauling junk again.
I have a regular crab customer that buys my jumbo size crabs, and I usually steam them for her. I did the hauling job and unloaded at landfill, parked truck in storage yard then steamed the dozen jumbo crabs. Plan worked perfect. While she, my lady customer was in local liquor store buying beer she calls me and says Hey, this guy working here wants crabs. I sold him 3 dozen of Ex large and larges. BAM AGAIN ! Sold that bushel toot sweet. I had 2 dozen medium size left for sale so I posted them on Fakebook and 2 hours later BAM , sold. Crabbed Thursday, did hauling job and steaming and selling out of crabs Friday.
So now I've revised my post on Fakebook to include moving services. I will use my enclosed trailer for this service. I feel positive about the potential of the moving and delivery service. I have a few more weeks of crabbing ahead but after October I'll rely on hauling and moving jobs, maybe a few days of commercial catfishing, hahaha. Yeah, still holding onto that fantasy.
I'm also considering advertising leaf removal and yard work, clean ups. I'm very familiar with that already. I know how to price the jobs I could also install mulch , gutter cleaning etc.
